Two netball players, Cheludo David and Keletso Gontho yesterday left for Singapore where they will compete in the national league.

The two players will be in Singapore until March 25, 2025. Gontho plays for BDF Cats where she excelled in playing in different positions such as Wing Defence (WD), Goal Defence (GD) and Center (C).

She told SportMonitor before her departure that she has been invited to play for Sneakers netball team. She explained that the invitation follows her exceptional performance in the past international tournaments, such as the Deloittee national league, which she played last year. “I was part of the Botswana senior team that played in the Singapore Nations Cup in 2022. The exposure I received from these events, combined with my diligence and hard work, made it possible for me to be considered for this wonderful opportunity and I feel very grateful and proud to be on an international stage once again. I will be in Singapore for approximately a month (28 days) playing for Sneakers netball club,” she said.
